Missions + NPCs

A confirmation dialog has been added to Conversation choices where a player is directly and knowingly choosing to kill or otherwise reject a potential follower. As a note, options that have unclear or unexpected outcomes (such as a follower rejecting you as a result of your previous actions rather than the player directly choosing to reject the follower) will not present a confirmation.

Companion abilities can no longer interrupt casting times of NPCs and players.

Fixed an issue with the Companion Locator Terminal where it was not allowing players to unlock the following companions: Blizz, Skadge, Khem Val, Broonmark, Rusk, Zenith, and Guss.

Players no longer automatically target their Companion after summoning them.

Companion damage and healing output has been reduced.

Companions in the Tank role now generate additional threat.

Despite being astoundingly proficient at it, Vector no longer does his best Kaliyo impression while in his Healing role.

Companions are now able to use Gathering abilities after switching roles.
